My View of Life on the Dock
On Sunday, Fiesta was special. The mass that takes place at St. Peter’s Park is always inspirational. The smell of the food, the sounds of the rides and happy people make for an enjoyable day. The Greasy Pole and Seine boats were a challenge with the fog coming in. Congratulations to Derek Hopkin for his win on Sunday. The Seine boats were postponed until Monday at 5:00. Thank you, the Fiesta Committee, for another successful event. Looking forward to the 100th next year.
On Tuesday the rain came down all day until sunset. The excitement of Fiesta is everywhere.

Virgilio’s added the champagne tricolor Italian cookie atop the pie and it looks so festive! Year round Viva
These guys. All so much fun to watch. Those winning walkers get lots of press, and rightfully so, but also worth celebrating are some of the Greasy Pole’s unsung heroes. Cheers to those who hit the water with no flag in their hands.

We sat down with LEGENDARY SAMO! The oldest Greasy Pole Champion and the ripe age of 42!
We could have sat and talked with him all night! He told us stories of walking the greasy pole at the age of 10, his first walk at the age of 15. Gave us some history lessons on the Greasy Pole, and some behind-the-photo stories! See if you can catch all the names dropped in this episode!
Whether you’re hearing these stories for the first time, I would like to take a trip back through Memory Lane! We promise this is been the best Fiesta Cast yet!

“4th of July greased pole walk over water Glouceter, MA 1973” by Spencer Grant
Can anyone identify the Greasy pole walker, boat leaper, and little boy in the cool inflatable (50 something years old now)? Are you in this photograph on the platform or watching from the water?
